It isn't legal everywhere. But showing that you have it and asking her to leave wouldn't be unreasonable in my opinion. "I was concerned for the safety of my children. She was acting irrationally and wouldn't leave." YMMV depending on jurisdiction._________________You're jumping to conclusions, so I can't keep up with you.

as a responsible gun owner, no. you're not supposed to do this, and in most cases, this would be considered brandishing, a form of assault with a firearm. yes, it's a felony.

at least the first time she came up. i would have told her to go away before i call the cops.

when she went to her car and came back to threaten the mom who was tending to the kid in the truck bed, that is VERY threatening, and i probably would have drawn the gun and told her to get on the ground until the cops arrived... depending on the state at least. 30+ states would side with me on that one.

what if she pulled out a gun and shot you, standing her ground?

obviously not. but why is everyone suggesting a violent solution to a non violent conflict?

No violence was involved. In fact, suggestions were on how to deescalate and avoid violence._________________You're jumping to conclusions, so I can't keep up with you. Go on without me, I'll just slow you down.

by whipping out a gun and pointing at someone and telling them to lie down?

I misunderstood your intent. By "everyone" and "suggesting a violent solution," I thought you meant more than one person and suggestion of a violent solution. No one suggested "whipping out a gun and pointing it at someone and telling them to lie down" or anything similar. The first suggestion of pulling out a gun was when you posted that she might do so._________________You're jumping to conclusions, so I can't keep up with you.

I guess I'm just naive that he might recognize what he is doing (or some day just admit it that he was trolling all along). And, no, I don't mean "giving up" being a leftist (just being the first honest one)._________________You're jumping to conclusions, so I can't keep up with you.
